Beta blockers help: Those beta blockers are meant to suppress arrhythmias. In general, beta-blockers are cardioPROTECTIVE - i.e., they protect (not damage) the heart. In fact, NOT taking them could be life-threatening, depending on the arrhythmia being treated. Sounds like u have seen a Cardiologist. Make sure to follow their advice. Or use HealthTap. Not knowing specifics, rely on ur doc for advice. TY, and GL!
